Lesson Title: Global Warming Research Project Day 1
State Standards: GLEs/GSEs
PS1 (7-8) – 4 Students demonstrate an understanding of states of matter by …explaining the effect of increased and decreased heat energy on the motion and arrangement of molecules. PS2 (7-8) – 7 Students demonstrate an understanding of heat energy by…explaining the difference among conduction, convection and radiation and creating a diagram to explain how heat energy travels in different directions and through different materials by each of these methods.
Context of Lesson:
This lesson is a trip to the library to allow the students in-class time to research their topics. While in the library the librarian or I will be going over MLA format for the research paper. Students will specifically learn about in text citation and how to write an appropriate work cited page.
Opportunities to Learn:
Materials:
Library or computer lab.
Exit Shhets
Professional Resources:
N/A
Classroom Environment:
Students will be working individually at the computers.
Differentiating Instruction:
Students with document disabilities will be given a modified for of the assignment. They will have the specific compare and contrast point given to them. The will also be able to use citation machine for the work cited and in-text citation.
Cooperative Learning:
N/A
Depth of Knowledge:
Level 3 (Strategic Thinking)
Objectives:
Students will find four sources of information that is in reference to conduction, convection, and thermal radiation to 90% proficiency.
Students will properly cite the conduction, convection, and thermal radiation reference material in MLA format to 80% proficiency.
Instruction:
Opening:
Intro to why we are at the library and what is expected of them. I will also go over how to use citation machine.
